Social Security Disability Attorney in Rockville, Maryland

Let a Social Security Disability Lawyer Help You File for Disability Benefits

The Social Security Administration has strict guidelines they follow to determine whether a claimant is qualified to receive disability benefits. One of the factors they consider is how your illness, injury, or condition impacts the activities of daily living, supported by medical evidence. A disability attorney can evaluate your medical data, and advise you if the documentation is enough to help you win disability benefits or what you can do to strengthen your case.
The SSA Offices for Rockville, Maryland are located:  


Or call the Social Security Administration’s national toll-free number at 1-800-772-1213.
In many cases, the initial disability claim filed by people seeking disability claims is denied by the SSA. There are several reasons for this, but the most frequent reason for a denial is the lack of medical evidence. It’s not enough to be seriously ill or diagnosed with a severe condition. In order to qualify for social security disability benefits, consistent and regular medical treatment must be sought out and maintained. Meticulous records are required by the SSA, and without them a disability claim cannot be approved.
In addition, the SSA will not only mandate medical evidence that documents your illness and treatment, but they may also contact you and close to you such as neighbors, friends, relatives, and even past employers regarding how your condition has impacted your activities of daily living. ADL encompasses personal hygiene such as bathing and dressing, meal preparation, shopping, and basic home maintenance such as vacuuming, cleaning, laundry, and dish washing. It is in  your best interest to keep those close to you informed of your current level of activity, in the case the SSA decides an ADL call is in order in your case.
Rockville, Maryland Disability Benefits
It is not just physical disorders that can qualify a person for disability benefits. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, an estimated 26.2 percent of people over the age of 18 suffer from a treatable mental disorder. The NIMH also states that mental illness is the leading cause of disability in the US, with many people suffering from more than one or more disorders. Rockville residents feel the same economic pinch as the rest of the country, where over 15% of the burden of the disease is felt throughout the US, more than the disease burden caused by all cancer.
Rockville residents, just like millions of Americans, do not seek out treatment for their mental conditions because of the social stigma or financial concerns. However, in order for your disability lawyer to present the strongest case possible to the SSA, it’s important to seek regular treatment not only for the improvement of the illness, but also to provide the medical evidence necessary to qualify for a winning disability claim.
